A local file system /home/work has been set up on all UNIX servers and pool computers. Users can use this file system to temporarily store their own data if they have no space for it in their own HOME directory.
This directory is intended as a replacement for /tmp. No user files may be stored there, as the /tmp directory is only intended as temporary storage space for system programs and editors.
The files and directories stored under /home/work can only be deleted by the owner or the system administrator. It should be a matter of course that every user immediately deletes files that are no longer required, thus making space for other users.
The files stored under /home/work are not included in the backup of user data and cannot be restored after a data loss.
The files in the /home/work directory are automatically deleted by the system administration if they have not been accessed for around five days.
